Joshua Dylan Snyman known as "The Soul Seeker", formerly known as „Cynic“, was born in Somerset West, South Africa on the 20th September 1993. His journey began in 1994 when he moved to Switzerland with his Swiss mother and South African father. Although the relationship to his father always was a complicated one, he has been influenced by him with a wide range of music from his early age. Soul Seeker grew up on psychedelic Rock, Soul and of course: Hip Hop.

He started his musical path as a producer in 2007. Inspired by producers like DJ Premier, 9th Wonder and Boon Doc he took his first baby steps by making his first beats for which he sampled songs from the 70’s and 80’s. After a short time period he also started playing keys to give his beats a mellow, soulful atmosphere which he kept to this day. He produced songs for artists like Reks (US), Red Pill (US), Manillio (CH), Tommy Vercetti (CH), Mimiks (CH), GeilerAsDu (CH) and many more. 

Even though Soul Seeker proved himself as a producer, he was always a talented MC aswell. To this day he released a few projects showing off his lyrical skills, including 2 Solo Albums („Seeker’s End“ and „To Each His Own“). He is also 1/3 of „Lesson Learned“, a Swiss rap crew, where he produces nearly every song and shines as a MC. 

He is an extraordinary musician who also sees his musical journey as a spiritual one. His eagerness to learn more, play different instruments and becoming a better musician and human being  make him one of the most talented young people in Hip-Hop-Switzerland. His music elevates, motivates and respects the roots on which Hip Hop was founded.
